Replacing the Front Calipers:?
 

I have to replace my front calipers and damn those 2 bolts are on there.? Any suggestions? A little heat? Or just keep cranking on em?

Any advice?

I use a breaker bar.

Alright.. Thats what i will try to do here in a bit! I have an old pipe i attach to a wrench or socket that usually does the job. But... My first attempt didnt go so good:)

I have bumped my breaker bar with a dead blow hammer before. This usually works great.

I will give it a shot later today! :) Wish me luck!

Jamie is right. A little shock from a steel hammer (forget the rubber mallot..it don'ta do a no goot!) will be just enough to break the corrosion fused surfaces.

Would it hurt to put some wd 40 or other penetrating oil?

Thanks

PB blaster and a dead blow BFH worked for me.

Make sure you use a six point socket!

Probably not a recommended procedure, but I had one bolt I could not get unstuck by banging, penetrating oil or anything else. I used a breaker bar with the shortest socket I had. I positioned the bar parallel to the garage floor and put my floor jack under the end of the bar. Though it was nerve racking and almost lifted the car off the jack stands, the bolt finally turned.

Not for the careful, cautious or the faint of heart.
